Church is off-limits for children

McDonalds do it. And teenagers usually keep going. Church does it. And teenagers usually don’t .

McDonalds loves children. Children take their parents to McDonalds. Church loves children. Parents take their children to church.

McDonalds serves teenagers who take themselves. Church doesn’t very much. Not in my part of the world.

Wouldn’t young adults flock to church as soon as they were able … wouldn’t they get an older friend to vouch for them as they were frisked at the doors … wouldn’t they try to sneak in the back door when no one was looking … ? And if not –
